Get Latest Revision Only

Get latest revision only setting

Use Get latest revision only when a task must publish the newest recorded PDM revision instead of the newest checked-in version.

When enabled, PDMPublisher:

  • Finds the most recently created revision in the file's PDM history.
  • Retrieves the exact file version associated with that revision.
  • Retrieves the references as they were saved with that version.
  • Writes the selected revision name and PDM version number to the task log.

Example

Suppose an assembly has revision B at PDM version 12, but versions 13 through 15 contain unrevised work in progress.

Setting Version used by the task
Get latest revision only enabled Version 12, including the references saved with revision B
Work with latest version enabled Version 15
Important

Get latest revision only overrides Work with latest version. A file without a recorded PDM revision cannot be exported while this option is enabled, and the task reports a failure instead of publishing an unrevised version.

This option applies only to PDMPublisher PDM Task.
